Bart is nearing the end of his mini-series recapping al of the different hats JavaScript objects wear, doing a lot of redux to cement the concepts that have been spread over so many lessons. He takes a really interesting approach this week to his teaching. He explains a concept and then instead of having a […]

CCATP #617 – Bart Busschots on PBS 87 of X — JavaScript Iterators Objects & Generator Functions
I’m not going to lie, this episode of Programming By Stealth with Bart Busschots was a bit head bendy. Bart explains JavaScript Iterator Objects and Generator functions but without his excellent examples I’m certain I would never have been able to get the concepts to even slightly congeal in my brain. Iterator Objects and Generator […]

This week Bart Busschots takes us back through JavaScript function objects, explaining the three different ways to define a function. It was great to have them all together to refresh our memory. He explains how only one method is hoisted, which lead him to explain the medieval history reference of “hoisted by your own petard”. […]

Bart continues his redux and new information by circling back through Objects as Arrays in JavaScript. I don’t know about you, but I get a lot out of the redux episodes because it cements in place concepts that were a bit wiggly before he goes through it again. The one new concept he goes through […]

A quick note here – Dorothy, aka @maclurker in our Slack group has been applying all of her newly-acquired programming skills from PBS to her fabulous PBS Index. She’s now using Mustache templates, Bootstrap styling utilities, and even AJAX with JSON. The result is a beautiful thing to behold, giving us immediate results as you […]

CCATP #600 — PBS Supplemental — Dorothy Rendon on the PBS Index
In the very first Programming By Stealth supplemental episode, I interview Dorothy Rendon, the programmer behind the PBS Index. If you haven’t seen it before, it’s an index that Dorothy has created for the Programming By Stealth students to helpt them find key topics in Bart Busschots’s fabulous tutorial shownotes. We’ll first get a little […]

Bart Busschots (successfully) explains the concept of JavaScript promise chains. It’s a rough ride because of the subject itself, but he gets us there through his care and detail in explaining the concepts and of course his great examples. When he’s done, you’ll know how to chain promises together, you’ll understand what data is passed […]

Bart has been promising us Promises for ages now and he finally fulfills his promise by explaining thenables. Promises are a tool to get us out of “callback hell”, which we experienced a while back. I think he made us suffer through that so we’d appreciate Promises. In this episode he shows us the beauty […]

Bart Busschots and I both had a great time doing the challenge this week. In this week’s installment Bart takes us through his homework not in a detailed step-by-step method, but rather he goes through some major structural ways he created his code. He digs deep enough to explain why but it’s a great lesson […]

Bart Busschots starts this week’s episode with a great refresher on what a callback actually is (because I have remained mystified by the term). He starts with simple examples and then shows us how we’ve been using callbacks all along and just didn’t realize it. Then he’ll walk through the challenge solution and the extra […]
